Drone Show Event on August 11, 2026, on behalf of The Rady Shell at Embarcadero Marina Park SouthThe San Diego Unified Port District has forecasted a project for a drone light show to be performed on August 11, 2026, on behalf of The Rady Shell. The event will take place at Embarcadero Marina Park South in San Diego, California, featuring a synchronized 15-minute display utilizing approximately 300 drones. The operation includes a one-day performance window encompassing afternoon setup and evening cleanup. Drones will be deployed from and returned to the park, with the flight path positioned over the water southeast of the launch site to face the audience. To ensure safety and regulatory compliance, the contractor, HireUAVPro.com LLC, must adhere to all FAA regulations and obtain necessary approvals. The project requires the assignment of visual observers to monitor for aircraft, wildlife, and equipment failures. A temporary safety perimeter will be established using high-visibility delineators and signage, restricting public access for approximately 30 minutes during the show, while other park areas remain open. The project is granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 due to its temporary nature and negligible environmental impact. Administrative and regulatory filing fees totaling 9,588.50 dollars have been identified, though a formal service contract value is not specified.
